These products work for me.Also sea water is awesome. When I lived by the sea I used to go for a swim every morning. Nothing beats that for nice skin! My Mars is in Capercornia (the sign that rules skin) and conjunct Neptune (hence my love of swimming).
Yes I know what you mean BB I love sea water! I wanna live by the sea lol IP: Logged |

Mars in LibraI use cleansers from Shiseido, Lancome or Yves Saint Laurent. I'm VERY conscious on what I put on my face so therefore it has to be quality, and I don't mind spending the money on it. IP: Logged |

ariesdragon - Actually there was another scrub I used some time ago - which was really good for oily skin. It's called Freeman Creamy Apricot Scrub - but I can't find it at my pharmacy anymore. I'm sure it's more readily available in Canada and US! In Australia they don't import Freeman products much, it seems..Even though it's called "creamy" - it's actually not at all creamy.. so it's perfect for oily skin. You should try it! IP: Logged |

Date's a week away ariesdragon I got a bit ahead of myself didn't I! My Mars is in Taurus (another earth Betty Boop) and I just use simple Dove beauty bar, always have. Less complicated and very effective.  IP: Logged |

LoL ariesdragon - awwww I really want a facial mask too now! But I have so much to do today... pfffffft I might do it tonight  libreo - I'd love to use dove & nivea.. but I can only really use them as a body wash, not on my face.. because they have too much cream and since my skin is already oily, they still cause pimples IP: Logged |

That's what I use: Aubrey Organics facial cleansing cream for combination skin. I'm a Gemini Mars. But I can't figure this thread out for the life of me. What does SKIN have to do with Mars?? I guess I could say that I like wordy, exotic ingredients like "Sea Buckthorn" and that's sooo Gemini.  IP: Logged |

Hi starry shiseido I've tried coz it works for a lot of ppl. It just didn't work for me which sucked coz I really like their products.

Sea buckthorn hmm does sound exotic I've never heard of it. St Ives has some good lotions.  IP: Logged |

I'm pretty typical virgoI use this. http://www.olay.com/skin-care-products/facial-cleansers/foaming-face-wash- sensitive?pid=075609041549 Soap, oil and fragrance free. Heard it's been tested to be more gentle than Cetaphil. I love it. I also use the Estee Lauder CYBERWHITE EX set (cleanser, toner and moisturiser) It's really pricey though. =/ I use the St Ives apricot scrub as my scrub for every other day. Haven't used it for over 8 months but will definitely buy it again soon. IP: Logged |

I try to use whatever. Changing it up is good cos yur face gets used to things. Neutrogena is what im using right now. But i bought this little face scrubber sponge thingy and i like using that with kiehls facewash. I feel like my face does better when i dont wash it all the time. I wish i never started washing my face because that gave me dry skin. Yur face needs a break anyway. With all the natural oils being stripped away its gonna overproduce them.Mars in Sagittarius!

^ yeah what I love about it is I can wash all my makeup off and when I'm rubbing my eyes trying to get my eye makeup off, it doesn't sting at all.The Estee Lauder set is great <3 I got it as a gift, but I googled it the other day and one of those items costs like 85 bucks o_O. So yeah... Probably not going to buy it myself. IP: Logged |

Just b/c it's natural doesn't mean it's right for your skin. It's about the chemical composition. quote: Originally posted by ariesdragon: I would use this but I would break out if I put any type of oil on my face. My pores are tiny Doreen
Oil doesn't clog pores, no matter how small.
quote: Originally posted by amowls**: The moisturizer I use always has at least SPF 15. I also try to get paraben free stuff.
What brand are the face wipes you get from CostCo? I bet those are loaded with methylparaben, since they need the preservative agent.Uh...years ago the minimum recommendation for SPF went up to 30. And that's only for the UVB side. Don't end up looking like a baseball glove now!! ~Concerned Virgo Rising IP: Logged |
